i don't know about the pumpkins, though, they'll melt out there. we want to check in with christina loren. >> good morning to you. the calendar says the 1st day of october. the temperatures read late august. we have possibly the hottest day of the year to get through, and this morning your lows are part of the reason why. we're starting out very mild, plenty of 60s out there. as we head throughout the afternoon, triple digit-plus heat, even hotter than yesterday. we have a lot to talk about in your full forecast. we're also keeping those showers in the mix. first off, we want to check your drive. >> good morning. hey, folks, we're looking at san jose traffic. the volume pretty light right now. if you're getting into the south bay, wee going to talk about mission, getting onto southbound or northbound 880, the connector ramp is currently closed so you'll use auto mall parkway as a great connector. we'll show you the peninsula, an easy flow of traffic northbound with the headlights coming up toward and passing university

taking place starting this morning. bob, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, jon. some of those measures were implemented last week. most all of them should be in effect by tomorrow -- excuse me, by this morning. for example, from now on all visitors must sign in at the front office and wear a badge. parents can no longer go on campus here to drop off or pick up their child. they must do their hellos and goodbyes at the main entrance. that area is a choke point, if you will, so the school can control comings and goings of people on campus. here's the change that's most noticeable. notice a brand new gate on the against. they have gates up there and all the gates are locked. but you will notice the fence is relatively short, only a few feet tall. that's an issue that the school was discussing last week, the possibility of raising the fence perimeter around the school. these new measures are in

response to what happened here ten years ago -- excuse me, ten days ago on friday the 21st. police say bradley morozak followed a 9-year-old student into the bathroom, groped her and took her to a location off campus, covering her mouth along the way. this was around 2:45 in the afternoon. once off campus she did kick the 25-year-old man, threw rocks at him and escaped. she made it back to the school where they called 911. he was arrested eventually. he will be in court tomorrow and could enter a plea against numerous charges against him, including kidnapping and child molestation. earlier that morning he was kicked off another elementary school campus because he was acting suspicious. and near a third campus he offered booze to two students near there and said something inappropriate to another. reporting live here, bob redell, "today in the bay." belmont police are looking for witnesses who may know more about a bizarre crash and

donations. mountain view's hacker dojo has raised $250,000 it needs to keep its space. the city gave that group until december to modify its building to comply with city codes. that meant installing fire sprinkler sprinklers, handicapped accessible restrooms and fire exits. 4:56. still early but we want to check the morning commute with mike. >> first i want to show you this full-screen shot. i know i just showed you the volume of traffic at the bay bridge. look at the bottom of your screen, the diamond lanes, the two at the very bottom. someone just a few minutes ago and it was too quick for me to hit record, but they were backing out of that car pool lane area. if you actually go through that area, keep going through because backing up on the freeway is going to cause more problems than going through and settling it out with caltrans. they'll understand. we'll look to the san mateo bridge. westbound no problems at the

toll plaza or across the span. fremont, a live volume. back to you. it's 4:57. oakland apologizing this morning after a weekend event gets a little too loud for neighbors. >> plus the question is, is it you they're looking for? we'll tell you where the latest winning super lotto ticket was sold. hello. >> here i am. i'm right here. i wasn't on the 405 this weekend. not a lot of people actually were. no major tie-ups reported. it was carmageddon 2 with a little fanfare. people just trying to use the interstate as their play ground, whatever that means. four roller bladers were out there on the road. a few pedestrians cited so get off that roadway this morning. a lot more ahead. stick around.
